I don't see how even a minimally-feeling self necessarily involves something immaterial. I'm convinced there isn't anything immaterial or magical about my brain being able to feel things. It's how the feeling self arises at all that is the question here. > Feeling is just how we experience reward and punishment. It is that, but not just that. This behaviourist Skinnerian abstraction doesn't do it justice. It may be an epiphenomenon, but how it arises at all is the question of interest here.
